-> you need to install diald or similar for that.

 I undrstand that. What I am questioning is WHY is the Dialer NOT
installed when Linux is put o nthe Hard Dreive. That seems like a very
essentual item. And what makes it MORe puzziling is that a TON of Junk
IS installed during the Prociedure. BUt to Leacve out the Dialer???
That jsut dosne't make any sense.
I am of course talking about the "Auto Install for Dummies"!!  :-)
